Check-In Post January 19th 2021

[badly_knitted]

Hello to all members, and welcome to our regular daily check-in post. Just leave a comment below to let us know how your current projects are progressing, or even if they're not.

Checking in is NOT compulsory, check in as often or as seldom as you want, this community isn't about pressure it's about encouragement, motivation, and support. Crafting is meant to be fun, and what's more fun than sharing achievements and seeing the wonderful things everyone else is creating?

There may also occasionally be questions, but again you don't have to answer them, they're just a way of getting to know each other a bit better.


Today's Question: No question today.


If anyone has any questions of their own about the community, or suggestions for tags, questions to be asked on the check-in posts, or if anyone is interested in playing check-in host for a week here on the community, which would entail putting up the daily check-in posts and responding to comments, go to the Questions & Suggestions post and leave a comment.

I now declare this Check-In OPEN!

Only another 28 rows on my arm warmer. I injured a finger today. Just bruised but sore.

[smallhobbit]

I hope your finger recovers soon!

[badly_knitted]

Thanks. It's not bad, just uncomfortable.

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

Oh, no. Yesterday a thumb and now a finger. Your digits are suffering!

[badly_knitted]

Sadly, that's not unusual =(

The joint is still a bit tender, but better than yesterday.

Steggy is now a quadruped and completed. I showed SM, who said 'it's a salamander'. Also, Trixie now has four legs, although not yet attached.

[badly_knitted]

But stegosauruses and salamanders look nothing like each other! Poor Steggy =(

Still, four legs is good! Soon Steggy will have a friend too. The family is growing!

[smallhobbit]

And may even be ready to go to my granddaughter for her birthday!

[badly_knitted]

Your granddaughter will be thrilled!

[darkcedars]

....now to have nightmares about giant salamanders with spikes.

[smallhobbit]

As opposed to a cute raspberry steggy!

[bunn]

Congratulations!

[smallhobbit]

Thank you.

Hey, as long as you think he's a dinosaur, he's a dinosaur. Sounds so cute!

[smallhobbit]

She's very happy she's a dinosaur!

Only thing I've been getting done is humidifier mineral catchers - I make them out of scrap kitchen cotton. Had run out last week. notes & images if interested

Have been dealing with sick husband + now sick me. Pretty sure not covid, sent Mr in for a test at what turned out to be the height of his symptoms & was negative.

[bunn]

Sorry to hear about sickness, but a relief not Covid (I hope!) Get well soon.

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

Sorry you're not feeling well, but at least it's not COVID. Hope you feel better soon.

[badly_knitted]

Very handy for those with a humidifier!

Oh dear! Hope you're both feeling better soon.

Hello! I have actually made it to a checkin and have crafting to report! Every year I carve a Christmas decoration from a bit of the tree. I often try to tie in the idea to something that happened in the year, but this year I was entirely foxed. Didn't fancy a covid virus on the tree, somehow. So I went for a sort of abstract wiggle. Hoping that next year will have something more upbeat to carve!

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

That's a very creative idea!

[smallhobbit]

That's such a lovely idea. I agree about not having a virus for your tree.

[badly_knitted]

Yay for crafting! Abstract wiggle sounds fun!

We're all hoping this year will be better than last.

[bunnyboo]

That is such a cute idea! :)
